10% that's relatively close and might of resulted in a coin flip and your effort wasn't enough. This shows a lot actually this means that 10% is not enough to cover the deadly evil coin flip. I would've kept that information if I was you.

Right, exactly.

Seriously, were you all in? Did the other guy have prestige or preference advantages?

I would say 40-50% above the person you're battling should cover the evil coin flip. Wouldn't you say TrentonJoe?

It was D2 against a SIM D1. I had 40 ap (one scholly) and was out of resources. Was all-in, ap from the start.

Are you're saying you only had 1 scholly? Or did you have enough attention points to re allocate to another player to back up the all in player? Also Division 1 is another factor in this equation.

You put in 20 HVs and still lost? Were your preferences bad?

The recruit had one preference : near home. I was good in this. I put in 842 ap (opened up an option), 15 hvs, 1cv, 1 promised start. It was a D+ D1, against a B+ D2. I was the 55%.

Then was out of money (1 scholly).

Once you get to 70-30 there is no "coin flip".

I was thinking we could place intervals at every 10%.

The only way I could see a division 2 team beating out a division 1 team is this. A+ 20 hv/ 1cv and or promise starts or minutes. So did you open up any backup options and no you were not all in that will be 20 hv.

Coachward: i always go D1 and beat out SIM with less. It was an agressive recruiting from D1 and I still had 55%. You put the d1 to very low.

SimAI accidentally the coin flip.

This surprises me. I've beaten D1 Sims at D3 with much less.

Not complaining though, it should be difficult to beat D1 teams. But it's definitely puzzling.

Odds are stretched, so your effort advantage wasn't 55-45, it was closer than that.

At D2, with 1 scholarship, you only have 5k. So to go "all-in" on a recruit, he has to be *very* local. Putting all your APs on him isn't going all-in. APs are nowhere near as powerful as visits. You're much better off using some of those APs to establish a foothold on backups (if it's important to your team not to take walk-ons). You gave yourself a good chance fighting an uphill battle on a not-completely local kid against a D1 with only one scholarship. If you'd actually been able to go all-in - i.e., if the kid was a local - your odds would have been much better. 5 HVs is a big impact.
